Improvement
Description:
If $CXX is not defined, configure will try a list of possible
C++ compiler name. That is not always desireable.
Solution:
Change configure to combine all powerpc-ibm-aix* to one version.
Add xlC as the default $CXX value.
Platforms tested:
Tested in Copper only since the change affect AIX machine only.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
There was another GNU-make-ism in the C++ examples Makefile.in
that I didn't clean up.
Solution:
Changed the "$<" to the name of the file to compile.
Platforms tested:
Copper (Small fix...problem was on Copper).
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
On Kelgia, the h5c++ script file needs to be explicitly chmod'ed to
executable.
Solution:
Placed this at the end of the configure script (just like in the
other configure scripts).
Platforms tested:
Kelgia (Very small fix...only needed to test it on one platform).
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for the third round of testing
Description: Increased the version number to 1.5.59 after creating
a tar ball for testing.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Corrected an omission of a module needed by the testhdf5 program.
Platforms tested:
Only in modi4 as the change is small.
Misc. update:
Text cleanup
Description:
Re-worded some informative and error messages.
Remove/Updated outdated comments.
Platforms:
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
Purpose:
Code cleanup
Description:
Moved a utility function out so other tests can use the same
function and avoid code duplication. Future utility functions
can also benefit from this move.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Cleanup
Description:
Remove h5c++ when distclean is called.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Tested only in copper since the change is trivial.
Misc. update:
Bug fix and minor code enhancement
Description:
Missing methods to read/write C++ String for an attribute and
a dataset.
Solution:
Added overloaded functions read and write to H5::Attribute and
H5::DataSet.
Also, added another constructor StrType so the need to separately
set the length of the string type can be eliminated. It's minor
but convenient.
Made some minor changes to make error messages more readable.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Utility Addition
Description:
Added h5c++ script file to compile HDF5 C++ applications.
Modified so that these are compiled only during a make check-install
action and then only with the h5c++ script.
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran & C++)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
API tweak.
Description:
The H5Sget_select_bounds() API call was using hsize_t arrays for retrieving
the 'start' and 'end' coordinates, which is counter to the rest of the dataspace
API.
Solution:
Change the arrays to be hssize_t instead.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/C++
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committested
Misc. update:
Updated all docs for this change.
Added 1.4 compatibility #ifdef's
Purpose: Maintenance for the second round of testing
Description: Used bin/h5vers to change version number to 1.5.55
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica
Misc. update:
Code Cleanup
Description:
Warning messages were being produced by the "make" program because
the "docdir" was being specified twice as a target in the generated
Makefiles. This is because the "EXAMPLESDIR" was also defined as
"docdir".
Solution:
Made "EXAMPLESDIR" unique for C, Fortran, and C++ in the commence.in
file and removed EXAMPLESDIR from the Makefile.ins
Platforms tested:
Dangermouse (only affects make system, not code).
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I changed release version to 1.5.54.
Email about tetsing of 1.5.53 will be send after this checkins.
Solution: used bin/h5vers -s to change the version number
Platforms tested: Done on arabica
Misc. update:
Bug fix and feature
Description:
The patch to Makefile.in failed if an empty directory of fortran/examples
was left behind by a previous build.
Solution:
Attempted to put it in config/conclude.in just became a mess since
it is hard to predict when we will include examples in the subdirs
or not.
Borrow the structure of install-examples and do some handcode per
interface. The Makefile.in of each interface (C, Fortran, C++)
controls everything. Not very systematic but pretty clean for this
case.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Also tested in modi4 with various combinations of fortran, c++
enabled.
Misc. update:
Adding new platform support
Description:
Added support for the C++ API on hpux11.00 with the compiler aCC.
Because aCC doesn't use "std," a new macro H5_NO_STD is provided
and used where "std" is presented in the library.
In addition, changed several cout's when reporting errors to cerr's.
Platforms tested:
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:
Adding new platform support
Description:
Added the config file to support the C++ API on hpux11.00 with
the compiler aCC.
Platforms tested:
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia)
Linux 2.2x (eirene)
IRIX 6.5.11 (modi4)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica) - by Elena
Misc. update:
Will update MANIFEST and release_docs/RELEASE for new features.
Bug Fix
Description:
"using namespace std" isn't supported on HP-UX. We ahve the H5_NO_STD
flag begin set, but it wasn't being used.
Solution:
Added the check to the #ifdef line to see if H5_NO_STD is defined
before trying to use it in the program.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia
Bug Fix
Description:
Kelgia needs the old header file format for #includes.
Solution:
Conditionally include the old header file format if
OLD_HEADER_FILENAME is defined.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia
so_locations was not removed during distclean.
Added it to the distclean targets.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? No
[If no, why not?] Tested in modi4 and eirene with C++ enabled..
Update
Description:
Updated the configure scripts. Fortran and C++ didn't have proper
checks for Linux LFS support. Also needed to remove the "-g" flag
from the compile line if --enable-production is set. For that, I took
how it's being done in HDF5 Lite...
Platforms tested:
Linux
new functions
Description:
Added these member functions to class Group per the new C functions
H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and H5Gget_objtype_by_idx:
// Returns the number of objects in the group.
hsize_t getNumObjs() const;
// Retrieves the name of an object in a given group by giving index
ssize_t getObjnameByIdx(hsize_t idx, string& name, size_t size) const;
// Returns the type of an object in a given group by giving index;
// the overloaded function also provided the object type in text as
// "group" for H5G_GROUP
// "dataset" for H5G_DATASET
// "datatype" for H5G_TYPE
int getObjTypeByIdx(hsize_t idx) const;
int getObjTypeByIdx(hsize_t idx, string& type_name) const;
